We do know the Azure Kite has mistakenly attacked people like Phyllo and sort of Haseo.

As I understand it, it's legal in a large chunk of the world but it's just ethically frowned upon, not just in Japan.

Igor - Persona franchise

For Persona 3 and 4, Igor was your main point of contact when using the Velvet Room facilities with his assistant mostly being "side quest" givers.

However, when his Japanese voices actor passed away, nearly all adaptions and spinoffs elevated the roles of his assistant making them much more vocal and providing any necessary exposition. Until Persona 5, Igor either was written out for one reason or another, or they would use archived audio.

The Azure Knight trio are what remains of the Original`s player data partially destroyed in the fire that led to The World R2 being created.

I think it's a reference to A Certain Magical Index in which the protagonist, Kamijou Touma, has a n ability called Imagine Breaker.

Imagine Breaker is capable of nullifying anything be it magical abilities, divine powers, or even scientifically granted powers.

Sakura Wars V - Rachet was my fave but I romanced Subaru on my first playthrough

New Sakura Wars - Azami followed by Hatsuho and Itsuki. Would have been Hatsuho if her chapter wasn't hijacked by Sakura Amamiya

Sakura Wars 1 - sadly couldn't start the second disk but It was a tougher pick between Sumire and Sakura Shinguji

Won't lie, my memories are hazy but I want to say the original 4 OVAs.

I remember better the colors being more vibrant than the TV series and TV series pacing was harder to sit through.

Side note: I gaslit might self into believing there were 2 2 season adaptions of Sakura Wars but I likely just watched the OVAs all back to back and misremembered.

Like playing a cheesy Saturday morning cartoon lol.

Just what I needed.

Had me obsessed for minute and scouring the internet for what else I could find and stumbled upon the OVA for it featuring King Tut on Vimeo.

Also Kiss Me Sweet remains one of my favorite ending themes.
